While there will be brews to be quaffed, the main event at New City Brewery in Easthampton on June 21 will be Colorway's release of its third full-length album, "These Are the Days."

The record was recorded at SpiritHouse Studios with Danny Bernini (who has worked with acts such as Ben Harper/Stryper/Blondie). According to singer-songwriter F. Alex Johnson, the album "tells the tale one Gen-Xer's unavoidable midlife crisis--time's objective indifference, questionable life choices, awakening, insight and a true and honest hope for the future."

Johnson is backed by drummer Riley Godleski and bassist Matt Clegg. The record also features Chris Collingwood from Fountains of Wayne and Look Park.

Collingwood's newest project, Easy Weasel will also kick off the New City show at 7:30 p.m. That band also features Rick Murnane and Brad Thayer.

Physical copies of the album will available at the show, as well as through the band's website and via Bandcamp. It will also be available digitally on Spotify, Pandora, Amazon, iTunes and just about anywhere music is shared these days.

Admission is $10 advance and $12 at the door. New City Brewery is at 180 Pleasant St.
